Sorry to keep you waiting

When serving God you'd be amazed at how days pass like hours. I lose
myself in the conversations and relationships with others.

This weekend was aunty Jane's birthday so on top of serving we
celebrated aunty jane.

Friday I was absolutely exhausted and tried to regain my energy.
Although I was able to drag my body to youth group to bond with the
youth over a good ol' game of ten pin bowling.

Saturday we all got up early to start the celebration. Aunty Jill and
sonia took our birthday girl to an art exhibit while I stayed behind
to cook deserts for the night festivities. They say the art was nice
but but nothing could compare to the next event. Off to circus oz we
were, it's an Australian circus and a halarious one at that. Although
the Australian humor was crude at times the acrobats, jugglers, and
comedians made it a great time. Had lunch at aunty janes favorite spot
called the mezze bar and then went off for a game of ten pin. Funny
how it seemed to become the theme of by weekend. It was a great time
with many laughs and great company.

We retired to the house were a suprise get together was arranged full
of yummy deserts of new and old. Guests stayed at mingled as they
pleased as sonia and I took the positions of house elves. Pavlova is a
special new Zealand desert that is key to a party, it's nearly
impossible to describe but it sure is good!

Sunday at shore was cut early as I volunteered at an event known as
seniors in the park. We set up gazebos and umbrellas as a live band
played in tui park. Whine was available for the seniors. It was a
lovely day and the breeze blew just right to keep the sun from warming
you up too much.

Sonia and I spent the rest of the day with some good Thai food and a
litttle tv.

Life is good.. But God is better, He is the source our comfort, our
enjoyment, and our love.
